As one of the leading international research institutions, KASTEL Security Research Labs contributes to the interdisciplinary research of holistic solutions for the security and data protection of complex networked systems. We span the arc from basic research to application research, including timely transfer to business, society, and politics. We explore the quantification of security and privacy. In doing so, we are guided by the unity of research, teaching, and innovation.
